Visit by Rex and Familia, and Possible Harvesting/Sales of Organic Macadamia Nuts

7/22/2011

Rex and familia visited today.  Rex is a Tico-born but multi-cultural guy wtth a Canadian wife and baby son.  He is interested in buying as much of our organic macadamias as he can. But, we need to cut the under-brush around the macadamia trees to clear up some areas to harvest nuts that fall under trees.  The nuts fall to the ground and they are picked-up by hand.  Our trees are transitioning organic, and no chemicals have been used for over 3 years.  The nuts are amazing ... varieties from Australia, Hawiall. and Israel.  We need to renovate the macadamia trees and the entire 36 hectare area where the macadamia trees are located.  a big, but exciting challenge. A big reforestation project, that integrates macadamia trees with fruit trees and wood trees.  The macadamia farm area has great soil and is good for food and feed and forage crops.  The altitude is 650-750 meters.  We just planted coffee at the highest altitudes (500 trees).  Anyway, we are considering several ways to get the macadamia area cleaned up for harvest.  To be continued ... Pura Vida, Paulo          .
